That is the very definition of cookie cutter.

Combos are what they have in common, but the meachanics is what makes them different. Using a combo in Street Fighter may not have the same utility as say Tekken which may not be the same as Soul Caliber. Each of these has thier own set of mechanics and characters within those mechanics of strengths and weaknesses in varying areas, which make them different.

But button mashing isn't something you should do in fighting games. Percise control and strategizing is what these games are about. Maybe you could get away with it on singeplayer easy mode or against someone who doesn't play fighting games often, but you can't if you want to be a somewhat decent player.
